CURREE BROTHERS COMPANY, MILWAUKEE, AVIS. 



LETTUCE. 



German, Lattich. 



French, Laitue, 



The Lettuce is of easy growth and will thrive 

 in any ordinary garden soil. Sow thinly in rows 

 1 foot apart, and when large enough thin out the 

 plants so as to leave room for growth. To obtain 

 good Lettuce all through the season it is necessary 

 to make sowings at short intervals, as during' the 

 hot months it is apt to become bitter and run to 

 seed. For home use we recommend the Head 

 Lettuce in preference to the loose-leaved varieties; 

 they are finer flavored, more solid, tender and crisp, 

 and usually without a trace of the bitter flavor so 

 common in the loose-leaved sorts. 



1 oz. to 100 feet of drill. 

 3 lbs. to the acre.
